Mike Johnson: "The ballroom will be a solution for this. It'll have 7-inch thick glass, so it'll be a very safe environment to do events like that. We need a place like that and the president keeps pointing it out."
Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.
People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate.
A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him.
Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.
Did you know the reason a DC “Judge” halted construction on the White House Ballroom is that a lady who walks her dog by the White House complained it was ugly!?
AND THE JUDGE GRANTED HER STANDING AS A RESULT.
This judge sided with a liberal dog walker over national security.
Every subscription goes up.
Every bill goes up.
Every necessity goes up.
The only thing that doesn’t go up is the paycheck.
This is why people are stuck in abusive homes, working themselves sick, or collapsing from stress.
This economy isn’t just failing.
It’s harming people.
So let's unpack a few things right up front...
1) He left California and was in DC at the hotel where the WHCD was veing held.
2) Imagine the intent he had to have in order to travel that distance all the while thinking about what he was going to do.
3) He either moved several weapons or procured them in/around DC and figured out a way to get them in proximity to the WHCD.
4) He took the time to load the weapons on to his body (to reportedly include several knives) and nobody noticed.
5) Now here is the kicker...in his hidden location he was somehow aware that the President was in the room and was seated. How/when was he aware of that part?
6) If he wasn't a guest at the WHCD and he couldn't see the President from where he was....how did he know?
7) It's not like he could go look in the room and then go load up with his gear.
8) He was supposedly a guest at the exact hotel? Like every room in that place wasn't booked full over a month in advance? In DC, on a Saturday, with the WHCD in the same hotel....have you ever booked a hotel in DC during a Major Presidential event? Good luck!!!
All of it screams that he had help from someone in DC. Someone with some serious knowledge and capabilities.
You just don't pull off something like that on a whim and without some serious reconnaissance ahead of time.
“Delta Dental called itself a nonprofit — while paying its CEO $48 million in 4 years.”
Her compensation reportedly rose from $4.5 million a year to $15 million.
Meanwhile, provider pay was cut and reimbursements barely moved.
Nonprofit for taxes.
For-profit at the top.
@PatriciaHeaton It's not all the left people that want to assassinate the guy. I am against that because he'll be a martyr then. Assuming that's what we all want is part of the problem, and I guarantee that you complained about those three leaders the whole time, every decision they made.
I wasn’t happy when Clinton, Obama or Biden won, but I didn’t call them fascist/dangerous/threat to democracy. I didn’t hope someone would assassinate them. I went on with my life with gratitude. Friends on the left, please try this. Your life and our country will be better.
Trump and his MAGAts saying to dial down the rhetoric.
Also Trump...tonight....on "60 Minutes" to Norah O'Donnell:
* "You're horrible people."
*"You should be ashamed of yourself."
* "You're a disgrace"
* "the reason you have people like that is you have people doing No Kings. I'm not a king. What I am - if I was a king I wouldn't be dealing with you."
@GOP_is_Gutless I don't understand the whole "Be proud of everything no matter what" like - when leaders do the wrong thing we should point it out. Conservatives bitched the WHOLE time Biden was pres. It's unhealthy to tell people to support, no matter what. It's abusive, tbh.
🚨 Brit Hume drops hard truth:
“The Democratic Party has drifted farther to the left than I’ve ever seen. They are out where the buses don’t run.”
“Conservatives tend to be proud to be Americans, no matter who is in office. But liberals in this country have gone sour on America. They’ve given up on America. They’re rooting against America.”
A party infected with radical, anti-American ideology.
Democrats can’t even say America is great when their own team is in charge.

@HustleBitch_ Guys.... conspiracy theories and accusations of staged stuff is ONLY allowed to for MAGA. We don't get to do that- we have to accept it all as REAL. Gosh golly.
@TolentinoTeach We have to stop and relearn the rules daily. My kids know when I say "UH OH" we're gunna go over a structure again. They groan, but they know that I'm not going to let it slip.
Classroom management experts often make it sound like once you set routines, rules, and norms, the hard work is over, and the class will run itself.
In reality, that’s rarely true.
Teaching requires constant attention. The moment you ease up, things start to slip.
You have to stay steady, stay present, and keep your foot on the gas.
There are people sleeping in Walmart parking lots.
Showering at Planet Fitness.
Working full time jobs.
Just priced out of everything else.
That’s where the floor is now.
At least 12 out of the 18 members of Presidential Line of Succession were in attendance at Dinner last night. That location should have been a fortress.
Third in Line: 92 year old, President pro Temp of Senate, Sen Charles Grassley (R-IA) was not in attendance.
@marisotsu Instead of clutching at pearls, even though it's rude of them to cheer about it, maybe it's time to look at why so many are so fed up with the government. Maybe it's time to stop doing 2k a night dinners, and balls all the time, while we are all suffering to survive?
As my colleagues and I walked toward the Hilton for the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, a man shouted “F*** you!” right at us — simply because we were attending.
Later that night, after the shooting, we were running to the White House for the briefing when we passed three teenage girls glued to their phones, reacting to the news. One of them said, “Aw man, I wish they got him,” and her two friends giggled.
That moment stopped me cold. When our young people casually cheer for violence like it’s a game, we have a serious problem. Radicalization isn’t some abstract issue — it’s showing up casually in everyday conversations and in our kids’ attitudes.
@davidaxelrod Violence wasn't an answer from us. Seriously. This is staged. MAGA says a lot of violent things. Trump says a lot of violent things. Trumps stages assassination attempts as stunts. This is his culture. It's not us choosing violence. I am so tired of this. 10 YEARS of this.
There is an awesome weapon in the arsenal of democracy to affect change and express our strongly felt disagreements with incumbents and their policies.
Voting!
Violence is never the answer.
@Franklin_Graham@realDonaldTrump It is too bad that your God doesn't want to protect the children in schools that die in the line of fire from school shootings - and only seems to want to "protect' your golden Trump.
After three assassination attempts, some people say that President @realDonaldTrump is one lucky man. I don’t think luck has anything to do with it—I believe it is the hand of God. What do you think?
#BREAKING: Florida resident: “I struggle everyday and now I’m taking care of my mom who’s older and denied [insurance] simple simple things like breathing meds…so I don’t eat this week because I have to take mom to the doctors tomorrow…so you decide what’s more important…you’ve got to make tough choices and tough choices today is tough for anybody, whether you’re from this country or not.”😢
Velshi: “So I don’t eat tonight… in every other developed country in the world, no one ever has to say that. That’s the Donald Trump economy in which we live in now…”
@SpeakerJohnson You just wrote an entire ESSAY about your man crush. It's just.. weird. This is a cult and he is manipulating everyone with staged stunts like this. My question is - are you involved in misleading the American people, or are you also being mislead?
Many in the media are discussing how President Trump was “so remarkably calm” and “in control” through the events last night. That is the mark a great leader, and it defines who Donald Trump is. …
I’ve spent a lot of time with him over the past several years, and he is at his strongest in times of crisis and turmoil. It is a primary reason why his time in office is so historic. Adding to that history, he has now survived a third assassination attempt.
As fate would have it, on the day of the last attempt (Sept 15, 2024), Kelly and I had just arrived to meet with him at Mar-a-Lago, right after the Secret Service stopped another would-be assassin pointing a rifle through the bushes of the President’s golf course.
They rushed the President back to safety at his residence, and we met and talked with him alone there for nearly 3 hours, with Susie Wiles and Hogan Gidley, until the “all clear” was given.
We will never forget our conversation that day, and the strength and resolve of the man who would soon be reelected Commander-in-Chief. As he processed the event, I told him we were absolutely convinced that God had miraculously spared his life—once again, in view of the entire world—for an obvious purpose.
It seemed to me then that a new realization had come upon our friend, that he had developed an even deeper sense of his place in his history, the importance of his legacy, and the divinely orchestrated responsibility he was being given.
It has been my daily observation that since those jarring events at the end of the 2024 campaign, President Trump has been a changed man.
He was already the toughest individual we know, but since then he has been even more deliberate and contemplative in his approach to our nation’s challenges. He speaks openly about the providence of God, and he understands, as did the Founders of our great nation who had endured so much in the trials and suffering of the American Revolution, the high price of our freedom.
At the very end of our nation’s birth certificate 250 years ago, our forefathers solemnly proclaimed: “And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.” Their extraordinary commitment to America’s cause—even at the risk of their own lives and possessions—was what allowed our country to form and flourish and become the most exceptional of all.
Thankfully, that same commitment is now carried forward by our 45th & 47th President, who has endured the most unbelievable trials, accepted every risk, and works tirelessly every day to ensure that America is great once again. May God continue to protect and sustain him.
